Extension Mobility

Extension Mobility (EM) is the ability to log into a phone with your own credentials, and have your own configuration on that phone. EM must be enabled for your account and for the phone you wish to use.

Once enabled, you must first set up a Phone Services PIN in the Self Care Portal before you can use EM. This is a different PIN than the one used to manage voicemail.

  1. Log into the Self Care Portal at: ucphone.missouri.edu
  2. Under Company Phones, you might see two desk phones, one of which will be for Extension Mobility.
  3. Select General Settings on the top menu bar.
  4. Enter a New Phone PIN and confirm it.
  5. Click Save.

To log into Extension Mobility on the phone:

  1. Press the Applications button.
  2. Navigate to and select Extension Mobility.
  3. Enter your UserID (username) and phone PIN.
  4. Press the Submit softkey.
  5. The phone will indicate it is resetting and registering, and may return to the Extension Mobility screen. This should only take a few seconds, but the screen may go into power save mode immediately after registering. Press the navigation wheel to reactivate the screen.
  6. If prompted, press the No softkey to remain logged into Extension Mobility.
  7. If prompted, press the Exit softkey to return to the main window.

Once logged in, your shared lines, speed dials and softkeys will be available and any calls to your primary number will ring on the phone you are using for EM. When you make calls, recipients will see your own caller ID information.

Remember to log out of Extension Mobility on the phone when you are finished, otherwise the next user will receive your phone calls:

  1. Press the Applications button.
  2. Navigate to and select Extension Mobility.
  3. Press the Yes softkey to log out of Extension Mobility.
  4. The phone will indicate it is resetting and registering, and may return to the Extension Mobility screen. This should only take a few seconds, but the screen may go into power save mode immediately after registering. Press the navigation wheel to reactivate the screen.
  5. Press the Exit softkey to return to the main window.

Once you set up a PIN in the Self Care Portal, you can change it on the phone:

  1. Press the Applications button.
  2. Navigate to and select Extension Mobility.
  3. Enter your UserID (username) and PIN.
  4. Press the Submit softkey.
